WFWC Chapter 63

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 63: Yihong Courtyard Is Closed During The Day

 

“Let’s get together, Mrs. Duanmu.”

 

“Yes, yes, Madam Marquis, please.”

 

Mrs. Duanmu was at a loss when she was invited by Mrs. Ji. Seeing Mrs. Ji looking at her daughter from time to time, she was slightly moved. The Ji family has two sons. The eldest son, Ji Yushu, is very talented and was the top scholar three years ago. Unfortunately, he met a gangster and injured his legs and feet. He has never recovered since then. But now, he is not as decadent as the rumors say.

 

The other young man is ambitious and although he is only seeking a small position in the army now, no one can predict what will happen in the future.

 

There is a high possibility that he will inherit the title in the future.

 

Even if the second son did not like her, if the eldest son liked her, she would not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life. She did not expect the man to marry her daughter to bring honor to the family, she only wanted her daughter to be happy.

 

Thinking of what the old lady had mentioned about the Wu family’s son a few days ago, she became very worried.

 

Ji Mansion.

 

Ji Linfeng searched through boxes and cabinets in the yard for the book, but there was no trace of it. Where did An Yan drop the book?

 

“Could it have fallen into Yihong Courtyard?”

 

Ji Linfeng’s heart trembled, the more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

 

No, I have to find it and get it back.

 

Ji Linfeng went out in a hurry and came back soon, dressed himself up as a greasy bearded man. He sneaked out while no one was in the outer courtyard.

 

He saw the tightly closed gate of Yihong Courtyard, disheveled in the wind.

 

“Why is Yihong Courtyard only open to welcome guests at night? Is there no one visiting during the day?”

 

“You are stupid, girls need to rest too.” A man passing by heard Ji Linfeng’s words and couldn’t help but retort to him. He then gave him a sidelong look as if he had never seen the world.

 

Ji Linfeng didn’t care, and said thoughtfully: “In fact, they can implement a two-shift system.”

 

The person next to him said in surprise: “Preaching prostitution in broad daylight? Wow, this young man has a future!”

 

Ji Linfeng:

 

Before entering Yihong Courtyard, Ji Linfeng was preparing to go back home in a huff, but he ran into Jun Fu who was out on the way.

 

In a flash, he thought of a clever idea.

 

He hurried into the alley, and soon a handsome young man came out.

 

“Brother Jun, what a coincidence to meet you here. Come on, I’ll treat you to a drink.” Seeing Jun Fu running towards a writing shop, Ji Linfeng quickly ran over and put his arm around his shoulder.

 

Jun Fu was stunned for a moment before she saw clearly that it was Ji Linfeng. “It’s Brother Linfeng, let’s do it another day, I’m busy shopping.”

 

“What are you buying? It’s still early before the autumn examination. Let’s go and have some drinks.” Ji Linfeng pulled him towards Zui Xiang Tower without saying a word.

 

In order to entertain his cousin Jun Fu, Ji Linfeng ordered a table full of delicious dishes.

 

After three rounds of drinks, he asked about his cousin in a roundabout way.

 

“Brother Jun, which family are you staying with in Shengjing?”

 

“Duanmu Mansion, I call Madam Duanmu aunt.” Jun Fu swallowed the braised pork in his mouth before answering Ji Linfeng.

 

Ji Linfeng’s eyes lit up slightly, so his future daughter-in-law’s surname would be Duanmu. However, there were several young ladies in the Duanmu family, so how could he know which one his future daughter-in-law would be?

 

This is a difficult problem for him.

 

“Brother Jun, to be honest with you, on New Year’s Eve, I helped your cousin save her purse, and she even said she wanted to come to my house in person to thank me.” After saying that, Ji Linfeng scratched his head pretending to be embarrassed.

 

He secretly glanced at Jun Fu, not knowing whether this wooden boy could understand the meaning.

 

At that time, Miss Duanmu had clearly said that she would come to visit in person. Could it be that she would not come after hearing his false refusal?

 

He was just being polite at the time, and of course he wanted to come to her house to thank her. Maybe she was shy. How about asking his mother to ask a matchmaker to come to her house to propose marriage? If he missed the opportunity, he would meet a jealous woman next time, and he would regret it!

 

“Really? It seems that Brother Lin Feng has some connection with my cousin. Unfortunately, I haven’t met my cousin yet. I can’t talk to her.”

 

Ji Linfeng:

 

The meal was in vain.

 

Madam Ji and Madam Duanmu went into the main hall to burn incense together, with Ji Hua held by Xiu He. Ji Yushu left at some point.

 

It was an hour later when he reappeared.

 

Seeing his mother coming out and nodding to her imperceptibly, Madam Ji knew that he must have got some useful information.

 

After the two families offered incense, they went to the back hall together to have a simple vegetarian meal and admire the lotus flowers.

 

After some chatting, Mrs. Ji liked this daughter-in-law very much. Both her manners and conversation were excellent. It seemed that she had been carefully cultivated.

 

Duanmu Yi naturally saw the look on Madam Ji’s face as she was looking at her, and her heart warmed slightly. She stepped a few steps behind and heard Zhiqiu excitedly say, “Miss, I think Madam Marquis’s eyes are looking at you as if she is looking at a potential daughter-in-law.”

 

“Nonsense, we are so weak that we are not worthy of Madam Ji’s eyes.” Although she said so, she felt the same as Zhiqiu in her heart. But she was afraid that it would be in vain in the end, so she left some room for herself.

 

Zhiqiu was happier than Duanmuyi. She was already fantasizing about the future, with admiration on her face: “If the young lady can really marry into the Marquis’s mansion, I can go there as a maid. It is said that the guards in the Marquis’ mansion are all heroes who have followed the Marquis in battles.”

 

Duanmu Yi knew that she had admired heroes since she was a child, and she also knew that she had a dream of being a hero in her life.

 

If she had not been sold to the Duanmu Mansion due to her poor family background, she would have gone out to wander the world long ago.

 

Behind the Huguo Temple is a large bamboo forest. Twos and threes of ladies walked in with their families. There is a pavilion inside for pilgrims to rest.

 

Not long after everyone sat down, Ji Hua saw the Prime Minister’s wife and Lu Qingyan, who was wearing a veil, walking towards them.

 

[Lu Qingyan, mother, the Crown Princess is here. Ask her to come over and sit with us. Find out if the Second Prince has caused trouble for her during our absence. Don’t let rumors that are unfavorable to her spread.]

 

Madam Ji and Madam Duanmu raised their eyes at the same time and saw the Prime Minister’s wife and Lu Qingyan.

 

“Mrs. Lu.” Mrs. Duanmu was still hesitating whether to step forward to greet her, but Mrs. Ji called her out loud.

 

“Qingyan, it’s the Marquis’s wife. Let’s go over and let her see the rash on your face.” The Prime Minister’s wife was happy to meet Madam Ji here.

 

Lu Qingyan was still hesitating, but her mother had already grabbed her hand and forced her to walk towards the pavilion without any explanation.

 

Madam Duanmu and Duanmu Yi welcomed the two of them generously, and Duanmu Yi made way for Madam Lu. Madam Ji was full of approval, and she was indeed a perceptive child

 

Duanmu Yi nodded to Lu Qingyan, who smiled back.

 

“Madam Marquis, since you are here, could you please help me see what’s wrong with Qingyan’s face?” As soon as Madam Lu sat down, she couldn’t wait to tear off the veil on Lu Qingyan’s face and expose her to the public.

 

“Mother, my face is a little scary. I’m afraid, I’m afraid it will disturb Madam Marquis.” Lu Qingyan was too weak to pull off her veil. She had been in this condition for three days. During this time, she had seen countless doctors, even the imperial physician in the palace. But she didn’t get better.

 

“You silly girl, if you don’t take off your veil to let Madam Marquis see, how can we diagnose the cause of the disease? Madam Marquis is a miracle doctor now, there must be a way.” Madam Lu scolded her unhappily.

 

Madam Ji also smiled and said, “Yes, Miss Lu, please pull it off and let me see what’s going on, otherwise it will be hard to draw a conclusion.”

 

[What could it be? She was poisoned. She accidentally offended the heroine Lu Yiyi. She taught her a lesson. She will get better in seven days.]

 

Ji Hua stretched lazily and wanted to fall asleep again.

 

It is not without reason to feel tired in spring and exhausted in autumn.
